Description: | Although the Victorian era was a time of general technological modernisation, with the nationwide railway expansion changing the face of public and industrial transport, there were still thousands of horse-drawn vehicles on the roads. In towns and cities particularly, horse-drawn hackney cabs and carriages remained the primary means of transport for the middle and upper classes. A good horse was thus a large investment, and hackney cabdrivers would have insured them just as today one would insure a house or car. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
